How To Make a Macrame Square Knot

To make a square knot:

1. Hang two cords onto your ring or dowel using the lark’s head knot. This will leave you with four hanging cords in total. Then create a ‘backwards D’ shape with the left-hand cord.
2. Take the end of the right-hand cord and pass it under the middle of the resting cords, then pull it through the ‘backwards D’ shape.
3. Pull both cords tight.
4. This forms a half square knot. Mirror the process by working with the cords on the opposite side.
5. Create a ‘normal D’ shape with the furthest right-hand cord.
6. Take the furthest left-hand cord and lift it over the tail of the ‘normal D’. Then, take the end of the left-hand cord and pull it under the middle of the resting cords, and out through the ‘backwards D’.
